There are also some weird examples of things going in the other direction. The 13th Amendment forbids "involuntary servitude" anywhere within the jurisdiction of the United States. There was a Supreme Court case in the early 1900s concluding that this does not apply to conscription. To me, the draft is very clearly a form of involuntary servitude. To the court, the decision amounted to "well obviously the amendment isn't referring to that sort of involuntary servitude".
